80,000 Nationwide Truck Driver Shortage

[1989]

It would have to be way more than time and a half to entice me back. My WCT PEER 80 retirement would suspend pension payments if I work in any suspendible work category. Working at UPS is pretty much at the top of the suspendible work list. So, in effect, I'd be working for the difference between the pension and time and a half, which would be roughly NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH!

Check again, they have increased the hours you can work each month based on your age. 3 month a year you are able to work unlimited hours. I believe to accommodate peak working. Of course after age 65 you can work all you want.

UPS is already calling retired feeders to work peak.

Not that would be the definition of insanity.

Been happening for years....

And they come.
How bad is our pension that men come back after retiring?

Or maybe it was poor retirement planning? Or maybe they left too early?

Either way it is just sad...

I may stay here a little longer and I care too but once I decide to leave I'm not coming back.
Nothing against the company or anything like that just once I decide to go I'm going

Invest/spending $?

Some guys just don't know what to do with themselves if they don't have a job. I know a couple of guys who retired after 30+ years and went straight to driving a school bus.

Or maybe their wives were driving them crazy, they needed to get out of the house and figured, if I’m going to work I’m going to do what I know and make real money.

That's also probably true

 

[Over70irregs]

Even if you retire with pension and investments you still need $ working on your behalf as a hedge to keep pace. Especially with the low rates.

This is true! But I’ve been around enough women in my life to know that some of them can be annoying as hell. Lol.

Maybe they don’t want the coyotes in the building spreading cooties.

I'll definitely have to find me a hobby to get me out of the house once I retire
